OOC: To Rescue Redeye. (Forgotten Realms 5th-7th)

Ill put the game thread up after Ive had a chance to actually do more than glance at the characters. Expect it within a day or two.

Once its up, as characters are approved you can start posting. The idea is to have all the party together and beginning by the 4th of July....but theres no reason some 'role playing' prior as Mirt gathers the characters cant occur in the interim.

This thread will be for discussion. Feel free to ask anything. I consider myself a 'players DM' and not just a hard and fast rules guy...you want to do something odd and buckle a few swashes...feel free.

I prefer to do the majority of dice rolling, unless someone has a particular desire to do it themselves.

Jump on in...The waters fine ;)

Yay!

I would like to buy a Ring of Floating(from the MIC) for 2000gp and add the Spell Storing ability to a +1 Ironwood Scimitar (total cost 8320gp). Let me know if this is acceptable, thanks!

My charecter with equipment

This all seem okay?

Very much in progress, but I hope to be done tonight.

Yes.

How much in the way of background for a character would you be interested in? Also for group gathering purposes would it be assumed were all just random adventurers?

however much you wish to do. Im easy that way. I realize some folks get more into the role playing than others. If this was a 1st level start and I was looking to run something lengthy, Id ask for a bit more...but basicly this is something to introduce myself to the gaming community on the boards....how we progress after this scenario depends on the players.

I will be starting up a pathfinder Adventure when I have the Beta Book in my hot little hands....but for now.....

Yeah for the intro, assume you are all in waterdeep for personal/monetary reasons that can springboard into someone hiring you for this adventure...

As I said, as i approve the characters you can start posting and we will role play the 'gathering' if you will....

Here is the correct character thus far.

Charecter with redone equipment to match actual starting wealth

Quick question though is there a default number for the number of spells on a scroll or is it always generated randomly?

Clicky Link to Dusk
Gear bought, Skills assigned, Feats added.
Awaiting approval now.

Cost breakdown of items purchased...

Vergor Fenstrider here. Whatcha needin'?

oops, now with spells and wildshape info

Nice start so far. I still need to pick up a few magic items to round out Eremus but I will do so this evening[Monday evening]. Likely just a few potions, [a few healing, one gaseous form, that kind of thing]

Also, is the Magic of Faerun book a valid source for magic items?

yes. Thats a valid source.

Yes we are off to a good start. Thanks for the excellent posting all. I like that we have a group of role players here.

Just a word on dice rolling. It is my like to do all the die rolling if you do not mind. It keeps things moving and you can focus on 'playing' If anyone is adverse to this, then let me know.

I wont require a dice roller if you want to make your own. The honor system is fine. After all if we were sitting around a table i wouldnt be asking to see your dice rolls to make sure you weren't fudging them...so why should I here.

I have lots of little house rules that will gradually come up...but nothing so drastic that needs attention now

for the spellcasters, one of my houserules is it takes 1 hand to cast 1st - 3rd level spells...anything above that needs 2...as I said, small things.

No problems with you rolling the dice or the spell house rule here.

Ps on a side note I gave Merle a bit more of a background in her profile page and im wondering if people think if its okay or a bit over the top?

I'm fine with that. At work I can't access Invisible Castle anyway, so that basically makes it easier for me.

EDIT: Dread, I forgot to mention that I took one of my magic items from the Magic Item Compendium. The Amber Amulet of Vermin. You approved the character, but I wanted to make sure you knew about the item...

Im happy with your dice rolling for me.

Yeah i saw it..I do not have a MIC so if when you use the item (or before) you want to post here what it does, then Ill know ;) but i cant see it as being game disruptive so....

I had a few basic items from MIC as well. (Everful mug, etc.) I'll make sure to bring them up beforehand.

Sorry to steal your post dredd.
Kevin, you still up for playing Naria? I'm ready to start that campaign

I have no problem with you rolling dice, I like to see the rolls as part of play though. It's fun to see if you rolled a 20 or a 1.

if you want me to post the rolls I will, keep in mind ill be rolling the dice at my computer at home ;) so i wont be linking to a dice roller...but ill post them ifn you want...hehe.

Ok. I will make a new persona for Eremus and pick a pic too.

Also, if there is any posting going on this weekend, I wont be around to respond until Sunday afternoon.

Eremus is easy-going to most anything and if negotiations involve any sort of malfeasance or evil, he won't likely want to be involved. Also, There will have to be a strong motivation to convince him to do something illegal.

Otherwise, I will see you all Sunday.

Sorry so late. I'm here though

A question to Mitten about his halfling. It says your charecter has telepathy and im wondering if this is an ability she has to activate or if its always on as it were?

The character is a ghostwise halfling. Per the FRCS...

"Speak without sound" (SU) A Ghostwise halfling may speak telepathically with any creature within 20' just as if speaking to them. The Halfling can only speak to one person at a time and must share a common language or the telepathic link fails.

Ah okay then my next question would be would a ghostwise halfling be able to pick up any other telepathic conversations such as between a mage and there familiar?

No since only one link at a time could be established and the language known....The Halfling could talk to the Wizard...or the Familiar (should a shared language be present) but not both at the same time

Dread is there an email you don't mind giving out so I can ask a few questions about the game?

not at all. Its in my profile, but here you go...

mpriley43(at)aol(dot)com

and since the games been running now for close to a week and a half, its probably a good time to take the temperature...

Heres a few questions for you...

How do you feel the game is progressing?

Are there any subplots within the context of your characters you'd like to see me develop?

Are there any things you'd like to see me doing, that Im not?

As I think I mentioned before, I am a players DM...to me the games are all about making it as enjoyable as possible to you....thats how I get my enjoyment..

So if theres something you want to bring up...do so whenever you want.

I wont be posting in the game thread til tonight, as i have to look up other villages and/or contacts that could be helpful..and dont have them here at work with me ;)

I think the games been going pretty well so far.

As for suggestions

How do you feel the game is progressing?

Are there any subplots within the context of your characters you'd like to see me develop?

Are there any things you'd like to see me doing, that Im not?

I think the game is going well so far. PbP is defacto slow, that's just all there is to it. But everyone seems to be trying to get in there an mide thier characters part of the discussion.

I don't feel as though I need any custom sub-plots because I designed Vergor with the main-plot in mind.

I can't think of anything offhandedly that you aren't doing or are doing that I hate. I'm having a lovely time.

ditto

I'm told my link isn't working.... let me try again...

indrani sheet

Forgive me, A tree fell on my house over the weekend due to tornadoes. I will get a post up today, I did want to talk to the priest of course.

no big deal...Im glad noone was hurt.

A quick note on how I keep you abreast of damage.

I dont just say 'Eremus has taken 8 damage from the arrow'. I think that suspends the role playing aspect a bit....

Instead Ill let you know about how much damage you've taken with a descriptor.

Here's the breakdown...
Minor Damage: 1-5
Light Damage: 6-10
Moderate Damage: 11-20
Serious Damage: 21-30
Critical Damage: 31-40
Grave Damage: 41+

I have others for higher, but it is unlikely they will come into play in the scope of our mini-campaign at this point.

So that same arrow strike on Eremus would look something like...The Arrow slices across Eremus' Forearm doing Light damage to the cleric.

I will also post a running Tally of damage taken in a combat stat block that looks something like this...also alerting who is next by the bold name

Initiative: Ranger: 21, Arrenea: 19, Fighter: 17, Dusk: 16, Lancer: 7, Eremus: 3

Ranger: Unhurt
Arrenea: Unhurt
Fighter: Unhurt
Dusk: Unhurt
Lancer: Unhurt
Eremus: Light Damage

Just FYI, if a player is due to take an action and no post is made, I will make an 'obvious move for the player...if there is one'. (such as attacking someone adjacent...or healing someone that is need...) but if there isnt an obvious move and no post is made in 24 hours...the character will delay his action as the next character or bad guy goes...until we get to the end of the combat round...then the character will refocus and move to the front of initiative round the following round...and begin to move down the list again until we get to the bottom again..The player may act at any time during the combat round after Ive indicated its there turn...Initiative will be adjusted to when they post.

Confused?...dont worry...It'll be clear. And in all cases remember We are in this together for a fun time. A question comes up...get back to me...either in a post or an email.

This system sounds good to me.
